#303 I I Am Not Your Negro (Black Lives Matter, Chapter Two)

An underappreciated artist that stood in the middle of the civil rights conversation of the 1960s. An author, essayist, an absolute wonder & more - James Baldwin. The man behind works like If Beale Street Could Talk, The Fire Next Time, Notes of a Native Son & more was working on a manuscript that never quite found closure. That manuscript finds new life in the documentary, I Am Not Your Negro. Brought to life by Samuel L. Jackson, Baldwin attempts to write through the eyes of fellow friends and civil rights activists Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. & Medgar Evers. In this episode of Victims and Villains, Capt. Nostalgia & BlackNerdMagic are joined by Gary Scott, the host of the Say Eff It Podcast (https://sayeffit.com/), to discuss Baldwin's views on humanity, race, religion and more. Victims and Villains is written Josh "Captain Nostalgia" Burkey (and produced by), Caless Davis, Dan Rockwood, Micah Kimber & Brandon Miller . Music by Yuriy Bespalov.
